Need some volunteer Wheel Horse ambassadors!!

[CasualObserver 3,408]

I got this contact through my webpage, and thought I'd see if there was anyone in the NW Illinois area who wanted to be a Wheel Horse ambassador to some visiting enthusiasts from Holland?  If anyone is interested, I'll gladly pass on the email so you can contact them back and make arrangements!

We are planning to come with a group of approximately 30 persons to Illinois. All tractorfans from Holland. We are planning to visit this region in Oktober 2014.

We wonder if you know a collector near Dixon Ill or Moline who has a shed full of tractors (maybe 50) to visit.

We are sleeping in Ceder Falls, Iowa. So a collector near Ceder Falls is also a possibility.

We hope hearing from you soon!

You can mail us on  ****removed for privacy*****

Contact person: Anna Meijer.

Thank you in advance!

How Cool!

 

Are any of them on RS?

Now who do we know in northwest Ill. who would make a good ambassador?

[varosd 1,185]

Stevasaurus is in NE ILL.  not too far.

 

Steve: We can get a big red sash you can wear with a top hat and carry various documents tied up in ribbons...

The only two people I can think of in NW Illinois are Martin and Joe Harris... but I think both of their collections are smaller than would entertain 30 people.  Joe is only about 20 miles from Dixon, I'm hoping he pipes up here.  Martin's a bit farther but not too bad.  I know there's someone else in the QCA, but can't think of who or if they have many horses.  Most of the really big collections are a ways south, southwest and east of there.

I'm hoping that if so, any of them might add to this discussion!

Jason, I would be interested in showing them my collection but I only have around 30 in my collection. Maybe we could talk some of the other fairly local guys into joining in? We relocated and are currently 12 miles from dixon.in rural polo.

Cool.... Maybe call AJ?  His place isn't much farther... maybe he'd be interested in having a group tour the barn?

[smokin joe 31]

Yes I will call him tonite

i only have 7 and not really accommodated to handle 30 people here, but i could load up the trailer and bring a few to a location around joe or aj's. that wouldnt be too much of a problem...

i think aj's would be ideal, maybe a few of us Illinois guys could gather there for a 'meet and greet'? get a good bunch of them together......

 

Jason, i remember talking with somebody on the forum from the qca, but memory is failing me now on a name or location......

[CasualObserver 3,408]

Cool, plenty of time to plan it... they said Oct 2014!

I'm from Holland......Indiana!

  Wheel Horse International Deplomicy, the US State Dept. could learn a lot from you guys!

[smokin joe 31]

I talked it over with aj and he's good with the idea

Sounds like a good discussion to have around the camp fire at LaSueur...and maybe also at Jacksonville...    Ya hay der once ahhh.

 

A M&G at AJ's....OHHH YAA.

 

Honestly...there are some guys around the St. Louis area also that may be interested in this...if it is legit...and a few in Mo.  Was there not a post about a month back with a group looking to do something like this???  Just thinking...

You bring up a good point Steve. Do we know this is on the up and up? Personally, I don't think I will be sharing my address with anybody I don't really know. "Oh, you have how many tractors at this address?"....

Not saying this is the case, but you do need to be careful how you share info these days, I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone of that!

Martin, I wouldn't have posted it up if I had any concerns about it being a scam. That being said, it never hurts to be cautious. Here is their website if anyone wants to check it out. Looks like some tractor fanatics from overseas to me. http://www.trekkerskieken.nl/index.php
